El Salvador has prioritised renewable energy projects to reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuels and improve energy security. By 2019, renewables, including hydropower, biomass, solar photovoltaic (PV), and geothermal power, had reached 64.3% of the country’s total installed capacity of 2.2 gigawatts (GW).
In 2019, El Salvador imported US$1.14 billion of refined petroleum and US$218 million of petroleum gas, primarily from the United States. Energía del Pacífico is currently developing an ambitious LNG-to-power project on El Salvador's northwest coast that is expected to satisfy 30% of the country's energy requirements when completed in 2022.
El Salvador’s economy, based mainly on services, industry and agriculture, grew by an estimated 2.4% in 2019, within a moderate average annual growth rate of its gross domestic product (GDP) per capita of 3.9% over the last 20 years.
El Salvador does not produce any oil or natural gas. 69.4% of El Salvador's 2019 energy supply came from oil derivatives. In 2016, El Salvador was consuming 52,000 barrels of oil per day, or 0.34 gallons of oil per capita daily.
El Salvador submitted an updated Nationally Determined Contributions document in January 2022 in which they set a 640 Kt CO2eq yearly reduction from fossil fuel burning activities by 2030 (compared to the 2019 business as usual scenario). CNE (Consejo Nacional de Energía) is responsible for El Salvador's 2020-2050 energy plan.
Since 2015, solar PV capacity alone has grown nearly tenfold, reaching 273 megawatts (MW) in 2019. The potential for renewable energy to contribute to El Salvador’s energy mix is much greater.
